Trouble brewin'?!?

- The Iowa State University Athletics Department learned in the last week of possible improper activities between a student-athlete in its men's basketball program and a family, with whom he had a relationship for several years. The institution has secured the services of Chuck Smrt and The Compliance Group to conduct an inquiry, but has not determined whether an NCAA violation has occurred or the severity of the situation.

The Compliance Group's review is looking at benefits received in 2005-06 by Jiri Hubalek, a native of Prague, Czech Republic. The relationship started several years ago when Hubalek came to the United States. Iowa State University will not make public additional information until the inquiry, which is expected to last 3-4 weeks, is completed.

honestly, I highly doubt Morgan has refocused all of his efforts on destroying ISU... considering ISU is still paying him money, I doubt he would do anything to risk losing that money, and even if there were no risk, he's not behind this.

Given its something that has been going on for several years, I do not
believe ISU was involved with this, but may have been guilty of having an in eligible
player on their team.

1) ISU forfeits games this past year for using an ineligible player,

2) He loses his eligibility next year (that would suck)

Lets see what comes out, before we all panic. ISU may get a slap but doubt if it will be too severe.

Your right he is not trying to destroy ISU but if what appears to have happened, has happened, then it occurred on his watch. Nothing has impressed me during his tenure and this makes one more example of his poor leadership.

I guess I should be thankful that we did not get a post season invite and that the other so called scandal came to light right away. If JP had to wait for this one to unveil to can WM, I wonder if GMac would have taken the job, or if he would have even been around.

I'm willing to bet a case of beer that this becomes much ado about nothing. Jiri probally recieved a little spending money or perhaps a Christmas present or two from this family who has psuedo adopted him since coming to the US. As long as the family are not ISU boosters and helped direct him to ISU, I don't think anything will come of it.

I suspect that McDermott is being extra cautious due to the potential D1 scheduling fiasco, and trying to stay on top of even the tinest of possible violations.

Cutlass, I think you are right on. That is my suspicion as well. This family is a "host" family. They probably have treated Jiri like their own child and may have given him things any parents would give their child. Seems to me that his might be a gray area. I'm thinking the investigation will amount to nothing.
